We're entering a new era of intelligent work management. And it begins today with Businessmap 12, our most ambitious release yet.

For years, organizations have been forced to make a choice: flexibility or control, creativity or structure, strategy or execution. We call this the tradeoff, and with Businessmap 12, that tradeoff finally ends.

This release unites strategy visualization, execution management, and AI intelligence into a single, seamless environment. It's faster, smarter, and deeply adaptive, designed to help every team connect the why behind their work to the impact it creates.

With Businessmap 12, work doesn't just get done. It flows effortlessly from vision to outcome, across every level of your organization.

Delivering Work vs Driving Outcomes? Not Anymore!

For years, organizations have been extremely focused on delivering a lot of output (projects, tasks, etc). Yet, too often, all that activity doesn't translate into real progress on strategic outcomes.

The missing link has always been visibility: understanding which work truly drives the results that matter.

With Businessmap 12, that changes. For the first time, you have an environment where strategy, execution, and outcomes live together. Every idea is connected to the work that makes it real, and every piece of work ties back to measurable impact.

The AI Canvas brings this clarity to life.

It helps teams move beyond doing more to doing what matters most, aligning every action with the outcomes that move the business forward.

Finally Bringing ALL Organizational Levels Together

Businessmap 12 finally brings together three essential layers that have long existed in isolation:

  • Strategy and outcomes at the top, defining what matters.
  • Portfolio coordination in the middle, managing how initiatives flow.
  • Team execution at the base, where value is delivered.

With this release, these layers are no longer separate. The AI Canvas unites them into a single ecosystem where ideas, data, and progress move together seamlessly.

Whether you're running transformation programs, managing complex portfolios, or aligning hundreds of teams, Businessmap 12 gives you the clarity and agility to scale without losing control.

AI Everywhere: Intelligence That Works With You

With Businessmap 12, AI isn't an add-on - it's woven into every layer of how you work.

You can now chat directly with your boards, outcomes, and cards to get instant, contextual answers: what a project is about, which goals it drives, and where your focus matters most.

AI helps you break down work intelligently, suggesting subprojects or dependencies that keep teams aligned - like a co-pilot that understands your workflow and continuously improves it.

And with the new AI Canvas, intelligence meets visibility. You can monitor progress, predict outcomes, and even ask AI to explain trends - transforming dashboards into interactive conversations that turn data into daily insight.

Businessmap 12 makes intelligence an active part of your workflow - always learning, always connected, always working with you.

Built for the Future of Work

We designed Businessmap 12 for organizations that are ready to lead in the era of intelligent collaboration.

This is the platform for modern enterprises that want to:

  • Execute strategy with precision and speed.
  • Adapt instantly to change without chaos.
  • Empower teams with autonomy while keeping alignment at scale.
  • Make AI a native part of daily decision-making.

In other words, it's built for those who see digital transformation not as a project, but as a continuous state of evolution.

With every release, we'll continue to expand what's possible - bringing more intelligence, more automation, and even deeper integration across your value streams.

The End of the Tradeoff Is Just the Beginning

What used to take hours and multiple disconnected tools now happens in minutes - within a single, intelligent system.

That's why we're calling this release The End of the Tradeoff.
It's where agility meets intelligence, where whiteboards meet workflows, and where ideas meet execution - without compromise.

We've built Businessmap 12 to be your organization's new operating system for strategy execution and continuous improvement.
It's AI-native. It's context-aware. And it's built to help you deliver results at every level.

But don't take our word for it - see it in action.
